Abstract: Numerical simulations are used to study on-shelf transport of dense water by oscillatory barotropic currents incident upon an isolated coastal canyon. The physical system is a laboratory-scale annulus in which forcing is ...

Abstract: The initial/boundary value problem for the barotropic version of a quasi-geostrophic open ocean model which requires normal flow everywhere on the boundary and vorticity on the inflow is studied. Parameter dependencies and ...

Abstract: Direct simulations of turbulent quasi-geostrophic flow on a ?plane have been performed with an emphasis on three-dimensional resolution [128 ? 128] in the horizontal and up to 6 vertical modes). The statistically equilibrated ...

Abstract: A sequence of numerical simulations is described of wind-driven flow over irregular continental shelf topography. The model is barotropic, nonlinear, and forced by a periodic, spatially uniform alongshelf wind stress. The ...

Abstract: Elliptic partial differential equations from different areas in the atmospheric sciences are easily and efficiently solved using the multigrid software package mudpack. It is shown that the multigrid method is more efficient ...

Abstract: The Inverse Ocean Modeling (IOM) System is a modular system for constructing and running weak-constraint four-dimensional variational data assimilation (W4DVAR) for any linear or nonlinear functionally smooth dynamical ...
